Best Nursery Rhymes Felt Book Deals

Customer Ratings:

I love these felt nursery rhyme characters and scenes. The quality of the felt is good, and the illustrations are detailed and pretty. As noted, the figures and scenes are printed on 2 large sheets of flannel and each individual item needs to be cut out. This process took me 2 hours of tiny cutting. To me it does not lend itself to a book form but rather laying out the scenes separately or for use on a flannel board. However, I love the quiet play it offers for my toddler, and as a former Kindergarten teacher, I understand the value of learning rhyme and its connection to future reading. Overall, delightful product with some work involved.

Okay, so my 1 year old son was facinated with this piano. But it sounds horrible. I mean Awful. In fact, we were afraid that the sound, which is very and very and VERY off tune, will ruin his musical inclination. I dont mind the chime but its too off tune. So we packed it up and back it goes.

This is a pretty, four-legged piano with helpful color-coded keys. We purchased it as our big "Santa" gift to my daughter for Christmas. It arrived quickly and was extremely easy to put together. My daughter, who is almost 5, was delighted when she saw it and enjoys tinkering on it. I suppose our only complaint is that it does not really sound like a piano. It is definitely a toy and sound like one. Overall, though, we're happy with our purchase.

Update....we had twin boys last year. This toy is the first thing the (now) one year-olds want to see when they wake up and run in the play room. They love banging on it and making "music" and the keys are not too loud as to drive everyone crazy. It is apparently sturdy enough to handle the delightful hammering of two small boys. We still love it!

This was absolutely wonderful for my year old nephew! I would not suggest it for children over three, as it is pretty small. The sound is not fantastic (it sounds like a child's xylophone), but isn't annoying like other models. All in all it is a great buy and a wonderful introduction to piano for toddlers.

Honest reviews on Melissa & Doug Grand Piano

Last week I bought the baby grand piano for our grandchild. At the store there was one piano in the box, none on display. I paid $138 and all sales were final. I was pleased to see the black finish and the bench was so cute. I was very disappointed to hear the notes, they sound like a "chime" or worse than a kids xylophone. I realize it's not a Steinway but I thought the sound would be better quality. I'm sorry I made this purchase, I wish I could return it.

I was so excited when my son received this as a birthday gift and he loves to sit and bang on it for a few minutes at a time. But when I tried to play some of the songs for him from the Songbook, I couldn't even recognize the songs half the time because the piano is so off key. Particularly the E. I was further disappointed with the songbook because it doesn't feature notes, just large color circles with the letter of the key in the middle that don't quite fit over the staff, so if you are interested in your child learning to read music, this will not be very useful. We are not planning to keep the piano, I'm just looking for a replacement (perhaps a keyboard) so that I can make the switch.

I have not given this to my son yet, at 4 1/2, he is a reluctant writer and I want him to focus on the uppercase letters first. I bought this because it is the best set of letters I have seen so far. I did a lot of research and looked in a ton of stores and this is the best for the best price.

This is the first and only game my 20 month old is currently playing on his Little Leaps. At fist it seemed as though he didn't take much interest in it, but after a few times, he began asking to play and loves the characters and mix of live people/animals, animation and puppets. He'll play for 20-30 minutes before growing bored with it, but it seems almost each time he makes it a little further through the game. We've yet to make it through the whole thing, so im not sure of the full length.

Though this is fun to play around with, it is not intended as a toy. It was created to help children grasp the concepts of geometry in a more concrete, hands-on way. I would highly recommend this for anyone learning geometry.

I teach lower elementary and these are great for little hands. Also, since they are small they are easy to store and don't take up a lot of room.

My children have had a lot of fun with these. They are as described and to me are worth the price because they come with bands and all. If I had it to buy over I would have picked the next size up but these will do for now. They are great to pull out when they start picking from getting tired or bored. They are easy to clean up as long as you don't flip bands everywhere. They are easy to clean and store.

One day I told my 4 year old grandson that when his daddy was little, Weebles were his favorite things to play with because "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down". He thought that was terribly funny and asked if he could have Weebles too. I was so glad to find them on Amazon and now he's in love with them as well.

We got this for my son's first birthday and he LOVES to push it around or pull it around behind him. When he's walking around with some other toy and he sees this roller push-toy, he will drop whatever is in his hands and grab this toy. It's simple. It's wood. It doesn't make annoying electronic noises or flash lights. And my son loves it. What more could I ask for?

Buy Wow Wee Paper Jamz Guitar Series III - Style 2

Customer Ratings:

Amazing toy guitar that is packed with more features than you would expect. We used these in our booth at SXSW where we were having an air guitar contest. Originally, we were planning to find cardboard cutouts but so glad we went with these because of the ability to actually play them. When you are asking people to pose for air guitar shots, it's must easier and cooler them they pretend to strum and it actually responds and plays chords. The sound that came out was loud enough to be heard through the busy trade show and the batteries lasted long as well. Definitely recommend.

We purchased a Paper Jamz for our 3 and 4 1/2 year olds for Christmas. We play Rock Band and wanted something for them to play. These were exactly what I had expected they are a toy that the kids will fool around with on occasion, but not frequently. They are perfect for younger kids, but I am not real sure about the "real guitar play" part. I suppose a child could learn the chords, but it's still not the same. These are inexpensive and they have held up well so far. They seem to be great for 2-6 year olds who aren't ready for a real guitar.

Sensory Brushes (6 Pack) Review

Customer Ratings:

We have a child with sensory integration issues, and were advised to use a sensory brush. I was a bit surprised that Amazon had these, and at a reasonable price. We ordered a few boxes of them, and they arrived in new condition, and as described. Shipping was prompt.

We are very pleased with our purchase. It is a good idea to purchase the related sensory brush handles that these snap into.

This long-lasting little scrub brush is heaven on your nails, it doesn't rip your cuticles like some coarse nail brushes do. Meant to be used by surgeons once, then thrown away, I find they last a very long time and do a better job than traditional nail brushes. A very, very good product.

For us acrylic artists, maintaining and preserving our expensive brushes is very important. We use these plastic brushes in the bottom of our water container to gently run the bristles through them, thereby more thoroughly releasing paint and brush cleaner, in an efficient manner, in order to extend the lives of our brushes.

This brush works great for sensory input for my autistic child if the child can handle this type of activity. In some children it can cause overstimulation and cannot be of benefit to them. Dont forget to purchase the handle that goes with this.

When my kids were babies, many years ago, they all had hair. The hospital sent me home with these little brushes to aid in cleaning their little hairy scalps to avoid 'cradle cap'. Fast forward 30 years, and I have a fuzzy-headed little granddaughter. I kept telling L'il Mama about these brushes, but finally I found them. They are the perfect way to gently and thoroughly scrub a tiny head. EVERY parent should have them!!

5 stars and the price is so right!!!

Buy Fisher-Price Team Umizoomi: Come and Get Us Counting UmiCar

Customer Ratings:

We bought this car for our 16 month old son and he loves it. The remote has only 3 buttons (forward, backward, and find remote). The buttons are big and easy for him to push. The figures don't move and the car doesn't light up or anything fancy but it honks, plays music, drives at a pace perfect for toddlers, and has the cute Umi voices (oh and it counts to 10). If your child loves cars and pushing buttons I would recommend this toy.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program It comes with batteries for the car but not the remote. The only sound it will make without the remote is a horn hooking by pressing a red button on the back. After putting batteries (3 AAA) in the remote, I was able to explore the other sounds. There are 3 buttons.

1. Up button: drives the car forward or in a circle

2. Come button: supposed to make the car come to you, but it may drive backwards or in a circle before doing so.

3. Back button: drives the car backwards or in a circle

My complaint is not with the motion of the car, but instead with the sound. If you release any button, the sound stops, then starts on the next track when a button is pressed again. As a result, you are going to hear lots of "Umi Car" and music, but very little counting unless you happen to have a very long straightaway and chase the car to keep it in range of the remote. This car car be somewhat annoying at times.

I would recommend this toy if your child is obsessed with the TV show; otherwise there are much better remote control cars or ways to teach a child to count. I am unfamiliar with the corresponding TV show on Nickelodeon since I do not pay for cable.

Would be nice if the figures were removable. The paint is poor on the characters, and the inability to remove them, and perhaps put in the smaller pose-able figures is a big minus.

Honest reviews on Fisher-Price Team Umizoomi: Come and Get Us Counting UmiCar

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Umizoomi is a decent enough show for younger kids that involves simple math. My son is a big fan of cars, so he gets a kick out of UmiCar. It was a disappointment when we got this.

The car uses an infrared remote which works quite well. It goes forward and back-left, so the child must learn that, to turn the car, he'll need to do a reverse circle to orient the car in the proper direction. In the center of the remote is a "find me" type button. It just makes the voice of Bot chime with the same saying every time.

When the car moves forward, Bot starts counting to 10. However, every time the car stops and then moves forward again, Bot starts over from 1. So, if you don't have a long enough stretch of perfect terrain, you never make it to 10.

There is a 5th wheel in the front that makes the car turn when in reverse. This wheel is also strangely equipped with a spring sensor that prevents the UmiCar from successfully navigating even simple terrain like going from hard wood to carpet. I suppose it's supposed to get the child to give it a kick, but it just ends up being confusing and annoying.

The 3rd flaw is that Mili and Gio can't be removed from the car. I wanted my son to like the car, but he loses interest very quickly. I found a school bus that works similarly, but plays music and does ABC. He likes that better.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a fun toy, especially for the under five crowd. Where this toy runs into issues is where lots of toys have had problems trying to be both educational and fun. It tries to be educational with the addition of counting. However, your children will rarely get all the way to ten when they are driving the car. My kids wanted to go backwards, forwards, zoom around a bit. Each time you push the button, the track starts over. Also, most kids already know how to count to ten so this isn't really "teaching" much (especially when the recommended age goes all the way up to 6 years old.

Pros:

The car is fun to drive

The remote is pretty intuitive for younger children, they will be ready to roll shortly after you hand them the remote

The car is durable we have crashed into couches, door frames, and walls and the car still works well

The characters look true to the cartoon

Packaging was great easy to get the car out and no need for tools (you do need tools to put batteries in the remote though)

Cons

The annoyance factor for parents can be really high with this car. It talks every single time the button is pushed for however long the button is held down. Over and over and over and over and over and well, you get the point

The car came with batteries while the remote did not. This wasn't a big deal, but a tad bit annoying as the kids thought the car was ready to go since the car made noise when the button was pushed.

Kids were disappointed that Bot was only on the screen of the phone rather than being a character in the car

Overall a fun toy. Toys should be fun, buy it because it's fun. Your child will learn to count soon enough if they aren't counting yet focus on the fun of this toy and all will be well in the world if you have a huge Umizoomi fan in the home. It will be disappointing if you purchase this for the educational aspects. The show is very educational this is a really fun, really cool toy.

I do highly recommend it, but beware it is loud and it does talk nonstop when in play.
